Those
who are concerned about Football matches, the Motor GP in the Catalan
circuit. F1, or the annual marathon run in Barcelona ... could have the
peace of mind knowing short before the event starts from now on. The
organization had tested out an advanced meteorological system, capable
of forecasting just a few minutes beforehand when it would rain and how
much, with or without thunder or lightning.
Behind this idea is Hyds, a company born of the Polytechnic University of Catalunya, first emerged at the end of 2007, now right in the midst of expansion in Spain and later in other parts of Europe. Their engineers have developed an algorithm of analysis of data that predicts rain in an area of a square kilometre, with the probability of certainty of 80%, and in advance of 20 - 30 minutes.
The company displays on screens in various boxes with maps, following the evolution of the clouds in real time, and the possibility of precipitation during the race. In case of threats of imminent rain the system sends out alerts to the computers and mobiles of the team. Key information for adopting the correct and adequate wheels.
The founder of Hyds, Rafael Sanchez-Diezma, together with 2 professors of civil engineering, explained that their strong point is prediction in a very short space of time. There are thousands of meteorological data, the complex factor is to develop an application, that analyses mathematically and extract reliable predictions.
They have 10 employees, half a dozen clients, including the water agency of Catalunya, to check how the effects of torrential rain affect the portability of water. Their past record had been good and reliable, applying the software to Formula 1 and airports.
